Honestly I'd love for more Linux-only apps to be available on Windows, so, when I'm forced to use it, I can still get the same awesome libre apps I'm enjoying on Linux.
Despite that, I still haven't had the balls to open a single issue anywhere to support Windows 👀
Just use WSL
Give me ls on the cmd for fuck sake.
Works well on windows 10+ in powershell
as long as you don't try to pass it any flags, that is. M$ defined ls etc. as straight aliases to the equivalent PowerShell commands that have their own flag system, so if you ls -l it will puke
Well, they can compile, usually it's under MIT, AGPL etc
Windows users have never heard that word before. Compile? Whats that? An app?
There was a time when the Freezer devs didn't make a windows version of some updates, and their solution was to use it via WSL. So I never used it again.
I remember having issues with Wireshark on Windows since it doesn't include a lot of libs that it can use to monitor traffic. Does that count on the list?
Can't think of any applications that I use in Linux that aren't available on Windows.
A lot of terminal apps tend to skip windows, ungoogled chromium doesn’t have a official windows release
A lot of open source projects do have windows versions, and the big projects that come to mind like blender or Firefox definitely do… but there’s a a lot of little pieces of software that don’t. One example that comes to mind for me is the Dino XMPP client… Linux only for now, unfortunately!
I do not understand the meme. Do you mean complaining about absent system requirements?
Windows users complaining that a Linux (or at a stretch, even Mac) app doesn't have a Windows version.
